Those Radio Times - 12 Days Of Christmas: Are You Being Served?

John Inman - Radio Times, 1978

There were several festive installments of David Croft and Jeremy Lloyd's Are You Being Served? scattered over the BBC schedules during the 1970s and several have provided BBC2 with suitable schedule fillers over the festive season in recent years.

One of the shows many stars John Inman became a regular star attraction at Christmas Time not only for his appearances at Grace Brothers but also his pantomime appearances up and down the United Kingdom.

This photograph reflects John's panto persona - but there's still that cheeky Mr Humphries grin breaking through the heavily made up persona - certainly a much missed star!
